It was no brainer and later in the day Jundullah accepted the responsibility. Mashallah Shakeri's statement is alarming, not because he said it, but it's true. It's worth mentioning that ISI was involved in Sadiq Ganji's murder in 1990. Hassan Abbas, in his book "Pakistan's Drift Into Extremism: Allah, The Army, And America's War On Terror" revealed that while Iranian Consul General Sadiq Ganji was shot by notorious terrorist Riaz Basra, "the other person on the motorcycle with Basra conducting the Ganji murder operation was an ISI official named Athar, a low-level official from the Pakistan Air Force.." Later same outfit was involved in attacks on Iran's cultural centres in Pakistan. Sadly, our soil has not been very kind to Iranians.
And now this whole sage of Jundullah will harm our relationship with Iran. A quick look on web will give you eye opening details about the terrorist group.
In an October 17, 2008 interview aired on Al-Arabiya TV, its leader Abdolmalek Rigi stated the group had given "over 2000 men" military, political and ideological training but that the number of its members "in the mountains does not exceed 200." It has been reported that Baloch rebels connected with Narcotic smugglers are actually an instrument of United States Central Intelligence Agency and are being directed from CIA's Muscat station. It has also been alleged that Jundallah is involved in smuggling Iranian diesel fuel to Afghanistan and Pakistan, price of which is more than five times cheaper than the diesel fuel in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The diesel fuel is then bartered with opium, which is smuggled into Iran from Afghanistan and Pakistan to be sold in Iran.There is no doubt that our masters (Americans) are behind Jundullah and we will need to seriously investigate this allegation. We don't have safe borders. India has always been our enemy, not safe from our eastern border, we have now opened new frontier in North Wazirstan. We are pushed into this offense or not, it's another debate but lets be clear that we are loosing few sincere friends left in the world. America has its own agenda and vulnerable Pakistan suits it. Is this good for as well, let's focus on our national interests.
Instead of fighting diplomatic battle with Iran, we should support our neighbour in finding the culprits. Good neighbours do this, are we any good?
